The Commonwealth Club of California* has invited Chevron CEO Dave O'Reilly and Sierra Club President Carl Pope to address their vision of America's energy future on Wednesday. In their conversation, the two leaders will discuss: What should be the role of fossil fuels? How soon and at what cost should the United States transition to a different energy mix?

*The program is presented by Climate One, a project of the Commonwealth Club. Climate One is a dialogue that engages people from business, government, advocacy and academia in conversations about energy, the economy and the environment.
